Valentine's Day - A How-Not-To Guide
So, Valentine's weekend. Somewhere along the line, I've offended the son of Venus, because yesterday & today did not go according to any plan ~ pre-made or spontaneous... couldn't win a trick.
An overnight trip out of Sydney? Scuppered by late finishing at work & inclement weather. Breakfast at a favourite café? It's closed. A walk through Rozelle Markets? See aforementioned weather ~ no stalls. A look at cars for future purchase? Nothing worth it. A movie at Fox Studios? Insert traffic jams from Mardi Gras Opening Party & 20/20 cricket at the SCG between our location & destination, then add hordes of 'families' at Fox studios lined up for 200 metres at the cinemas to see... what exactly?! Certainly not Transporter 3 which we were running five minutes late for. Dinner at a Japanese fusion restaurant tonight? It's closed. Takeaway fish'n'chips from a good local shop? It's closed. Substitute Manly Fish Café dinner? Expensive & criminally bland.
Boy, do I know how to show a girl a good time...
Enough. Have a picture.
